Fuel expense for diesel-powered fracking engines represents a significant portion of total operating costs within a typical onshore well stimulation spread. Accordingly, with the increased availability of lower priced and environmentally friendly natural gas, aftermarket installed bi-fuel systems have rapidly intensified the interest of well service operators seeking reduced operating expense through utilization of well-site field gas. Through use of integrated bi-fuel engine technology, mtu is able to meet the specific demands of well servicing in a field installable kit, which retains all internal diesel engine components and ensures safe and reliable operation at original engine performance and emissions specifications.
